Mariners rally past Rangers, 9-8, in 11 innings

Seattle deals with news of Robinson Cano's 80-game suspension and then wins on Guillermo Heredia's 11th-inning RBI single

Guillermo Heredia's single drove in Ryon Healy with the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning as Seattle beat Texas 9-8 Tuesday at Safeco Field.

Earlier in the day, the Mariners had to overcome the news that star second baseball Robinson Cano, who's already out with a broken bone in his right hand, will miss 80 games without pay — and more than $11 million of his $24 million salary — after testing positive for a banned substance, the diuretic furosemide. The suspension begins immediately, even with Cano expected to be out for up to eight weeks with the injured hand.

In a back-and-forth game, the Mariners (24-17) led 8-7 after eight innings, scoring twice in the eighth — on an unearned run and Jean Segura's RBI single. But the Rangers tied it in the ninth off closer Edwin Diaz.
